Dr Negrin's Victory Pills

The noise abatement regs are a bugger.

A sensible precaution.

Not only a war that never happened, but a war that was never going to happen (unless the Americans started it).

I guess that the majority of Hollywood movies are DEI because they focus on white men. . .

If plant-based foods must be more honest, let’s do the same for meat – fancy some ‘cow muscle’? | Deirdra Barr EU rules banning terms such as ‘bacon’ for veggie products are problematic, btw cow muscle = steak, says the Vegetarian Society’s Deirdra Barr

I'm getting really tired of social constructionism.

Hasty redeployment of US missiles from South Korea to Middle East leaves Seoul rattled South Korea’s president has sought to reassure the public that the country is able to deter threats from the North

I have a horrible feeling that the Law of Unintended Consequences is about to be invoked.

I said from the off that Trump was bounced into it by Netanyahu - which is just one of the reasons why the other allies have kept well clear.

American Christians are unable to assimilate, that's why they fled to America in the first place.

Reminds me of Michael Moore's thesis that America's mass shooting and gun problem was down to paranoia.

I think there are two main problems here: 1) they're trying to kill an ideology with bombs - an ideology that owes its origins to western oppression and meddling; 2) they don't understand asymmetric warfare.

America, we need to talk about your WMD problem. . .

Ah, those WMDs are slippery little buggers, aren't they?

It occurs to me that America doesn't understand asymmetric warfare because it's always got overwhelming force on its side.

Hence Vietnam.

Hence Korea.

Hence Iraq.

Hence Afghanistan.

Hence Iran.

They only have a hammer for every task.

He also claimed that no country tries harder than America not to kill civilians.

Dude, few countries care less than America about that, even at home.

Republican and Democrat head for run-off in election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s House seat Georgia contest will be a test of Trump’s sway and may provide a rare opportunity for Democrats in the southern state

That's a refreshing choice. . . 🤦

"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

Maybe Trump and Netanyahu ought to watch more Star Wars.

Iran is becoming more defiant in face of US-Israeli onslaught Tehran spurns Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and insists on guarantees it will not be attacked again

The US and Israel's strategy (if you can dignify it with that word) is so hopelessly naïve. You don't destroy an ideology by bombing it, you make it stronger. Did these people never watch Star Wars?

Admittedly, it's hard to find an otter contentious.

I thought that was the American dream.

Now take away their land.

"I was only following orders."

"What were your orders?"

"I don't know."

No comment - everybody got there before me.

I've always been uncomfortable with the concept of evil. It strikes me as a means of othering the dark side of human nature.

Private equity can certainly go forth and multiply with itself.

The expressions here fascinate me. Trump's is pure, scheming evil; Andrew seems oblivious.

They still don't get how serious this is, do they?

In the time I've spent reading your posts in the last month alone I could have read both the Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

I cannot thank you all individually but I want you to know that you have my eternal gratitude. ❤️📚🤓

This reminds me of how everyone on some episodes of Spike Milligan's Q sometimes used to wear the same thing, such as a luggage tag or a perforation reinforcing ring, etc.

Like most oppressive majorities, white South Africans equate losing privilege with discrimination.
